Overall, while the story has potential and resonates with some players, it could benefit from better structure and cohesion.

    • “I absolutely love the story and atmosphere; it actually creeped me out a little, which was cool. I wish there was more on Aimi's backstory and more on the characters in general, but as a first game, it's amazing!”
    • “This game does a beautiful job weaving its story and exploring heavy topics. It really immerses you in the main character's feelings and entices you with wanting to know the entire backstory.”
    • “The storyline is very rich, and the closer you get to the ending of the game, the truth is revealed.”
    • “I sort of get what the story was, but the game wasn't always structured well enough to leave an impact.”
    • “The story was a bit over-the-top and for its length, I believe there were one too many plot points that were being bounced around nonstop.”
    • “The pacing was a bit hectic and I felt like I was jumping all over the place, never having enough time to digest each scene completely, leading to an especially confusing story.”
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The artwork is really nice too.”
    • “Graphics are decent.”

  • gameplay
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the unique mechanics and puzzles that encourage logical thinking, while others criticize the lack of sufficient gameplay elements and slow dialogue pacing.

    • “The gameplay is pretty good; there were no puzzles that made me scratch my head too much but still posed a challenge that made me step back and think logically.”
    • “I do want to read the dialogue, but it's too slow for me and it doesn't help that there's been practically no gameplay yet.”
    • “My main peeve with the game is the gameplay, or rather lack of it.”
    • “Hard gameplay, poor script writing, overall sucks.”
  • emotional
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While some players find the emotional depth of this game lacking compared to titles like "Rakuen" and "To the Moon," which effectively explore character drama, others appreciate its ability to immerse them in the story and evoke strong feelings. The game features moments that express emotions well, adding a layer of depth that resonates with those seeking an emotional experience, even if it doesn't always linger on its narrative events. Overall, it offers a unique emotional journey that can captivate players.

    • “And that's what happened to me, and if you love getting emotionally (even if it's not sad) immersed in a story and forget that you have a physical body until the story is over... try this game :)”
    • “Many moments in the game can really show the expression of emotions; this game was for Toasty, which added a layer of depth that some emotional games don't achieve.”
    • “There are other games like Rakuen and To the Moon that mix fantastical concepts with a more real emotional throughline, but I think those work better because they know how to give sufficient attention to the crux of their characters' drama, whereas this game seemed to brush past several different events without letting any of them linger and soak in.”
    • “A boring story makes you play for a minute, but a story that you become part of makes you feel like the character on the journey to the end.”
    • “The emotional depth of the characters is lacking, making it hard to connect with their struggles.”
    • “I felt no attachment to the storyline; it failed to evoke any real emotions during key moments.”
